Difference Inequality: reflections on ethnic identity and commercial Chané handcraft production. This article reflects on the representations and values of indigenous handcraft commercial production, emphasizing the dy- namic inter-ethnic relationships that go with it. The re- search took place in a Chané community in Campo Durán in the Argentinian province of Salta. First, I discuss local conceptions about handcraft as source of paid work and how this articulates with ethnic adscriptions. Sec- ondly, I focus on the link between this production and traditional stigmatization.
